FormscanBy Gary Carson - COMPANY KEEPING gained his sole win over seven furlongs and looked like he wanted to step back up to this trip when second over six here 12 days ago. He stayed on to get within a neck of Beleaguerment last time and off a 2lb higher mark he looks capable of striking. This trip looks a question mark for Inishmot Prince who tries to defy a 7lb penalty for his win here five days ago. That came over five furlongs and the Elzaam gelding has gained his three career victories at the minimum trip. Finke River didn't get home over the extended ten furlongs here last month and he could be a contender now dropping back in trip. He had been knocking on the door over a mile previously.
An extended handicap for three years old and upwards rated 47-65Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
